Charlie, the purple user who thinks Endgame was more impressive than Avatar (2009). Very strange honestly.

surely Avatar 2 is next...

Charlie, our resident box office expert forgetting that a global pandemic happened. Lovely

2019 was easier to make cash than 2009

This is cringe strawman lmao, I never said XR wasn't a factor. I said Inflation + Market Growth would outweigh it. 3 Years ago was also before covid. not at all

Let's be honest, A2 should have been 4 hours long.

oh shit here we go

oh XXR is that you, is Sunday looking like an increase from yesterday?

EC is right though, if we tuned down entertainment options to 2009 levels, changed XR rate, then kept 2022 inflation, then undid covid, and undid russia war, then also made japan lose their way, we would be looking at 4 billies easy

misleading week though isnt it with the monday being a holiday for TGM A2 will have a bigger 5th week than TPM, also misleading? but damn, TGM will be $10m less

Oh yeah, as rogue one dropped after holidays that meant A2 would too, i remember that

Everyone in here always talking about doom & gloom but let's be honest that's just box office. The real doom and gloom is Russia/Ukraine/China/Taiwan + Covid Round 2 (it's bigger and angier) If is in better shape than it is now, A3 will gross more. I don't think it will be.

This is actually case of lightning in a bottle, he got lucky 3 times.

Disagree, it's because TGM has summer holiday weekdays that it's better to compare weekends. Forgot about that inflated week 5 weekend for A2, that's going to be brutal gap. I guess we can try and work out how much TGM's weekdays are inflated to see where we expect A2 to drop? Seems like 20-30% increase on the dailies, something like that, but then lighter increases on weekends. So which will be stronger? Top Gun Maverick's inflated weekdays, or that fact A2 has more demand?

PLF = Premium Large Format IMAX is one of these formats, Dolby is another.

Below A2 GUN MAVERICK CHANGE!!! 3rd weekend 51.8 4th weekend 44.7 -15.88% 5th weekend 29.6 -51.01% Doesn't really take a genius to work out that TGM's 4th weekend is highly inflated due to a holiday monday and fathers day sunday. A2's 5th weekend is going to make those rooting against cinema doing well (whats with this?) not very happy.

plus fathers day sunday

11.5 20.5 14 $46m might be able to get 14.5-15.5 for Sunday, which would be insane.

no one show him the behind the scenes from anything before Avatar

no need to go all holier than thou other someone wishing a director made movies more tailored for them.

I guess he just makes films he wants to make now, instead of appeasing global audiences. Would be interesting if he went back to doing mega blockbusters. It's rare to have a director like James Cameron who happens to like what the people like.

it was cut from the film to save time! Agree to disagre on the 3rd acts

Top Gun Maverick to me was a great movie, I would have been super happy if they just cut all the love interest scenes and the scene with iceman. They were difficult to get through. More plane scenes, more scenes with the pilots. Ty ty

ah ah not so fast there friend A2 is about to beat TGM's fathers day inflated 4th weekend.
